German Chancellor Angela Merkel received as a gift from the Prime Minister of Georgia Mamuka Bakhtadze a picture of the 17th century. After the end of the Second World War, the canvas was taken from the Dresden Museum to the Soviet Union, and then to Georgia, according to the Instagram of the Federal Chancellor. In addition, Merkel was waiting for another surprise: the Georgian ensemble "Shvidkats" sang for her an old German folk song Wir lieben die Sturme ("We love storms").

According to rumors, this is the favorite musical composition of Frau Angela Merkel. It is sung about sea pirates who are not afraid of death or devil and fight like lions. In the video posted on Youtube it is clear that Merkel joined the singing Georgians. German Chancellor arrived in Georgia on an official visit on August 23. Merkel held talks with Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze and President Georgi Margvelashvili. On Friday, August 24, the leader of Germany flew to Yerevan.
